Water Quality of the Chokosna, Gilahina, Lakina Rivers, and Long Lake Watershed Along McCarthy Road, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska, 2007-08.

摘要

The Chokosna, Gilahina, and Lakina River basins, and the Long Lake watershed are located along McCarthy Road in WrangellSt. Elias National Park and Preserve. The rivers and lake support a large run of sockeye (red) salmon that is important to the commercial and recreational fisheries in the larger Copper River. To gain a better understanding of the water quality conditions of these watersheds, these basins were studied as part of a cooperative study with the National Park Service during the open water periods in 2007 and 2008.
